Winchester 94 in 30-30

Perhaps a bit off-topic but I have to say something about all these 94s shooting "2-inch groups at 100 yards."

I have owned a few Marlin 336s that were fairly accurate. But the one Winchester 94 I ever owned- a 1980s second hand piece IIRC- was barely "Romanian AK47 accurate!" It was lucky to make a 8-inch group at 100 yards. And the bore looked great.

Did they do something weird to the barrels in the 80s or something? :unsure:

(Please don't say I can't shoot; if that was the case all my rifles would perform poorly. Many of you have seen my targets over the years!)
Those two inch groups are ONLY if "You do your part". Sorry, couldn't resist-I'm sure you're a better shot than I.
